I know exactly what he is talking about. As someone who has personally watched the Davinci Code I can consider myself an expert at decifering puzzles.
He mentions behind "closed doors" like the closed door of a closet, a closet which he is in. This would mean that Vladamir is gay and that he will be coming out of the closet in 2015.
"some serious projects are being underwritten"
"If these projects come to fruition"
Now the part about "very important for Bitcoin things"...who is the most important person in gay society? Liberace.
Vladamir is going to buy a large blinged out pink Liberace type of piano with Bitcoins.
"Anyone parting with his coins at current silly prices is going to deeply regret it"
No you are so silly Vladamir. I doubt a pink piano purchase will change the price of bitcoins by much.

Umm.. who are you and why do you know these things?
Vladimir - a son of Soviet Russia - he knows. I tell you, he knows.
We must all know that the russians know everything. They are the greatest!!!

For what is worth. Based on some information that is not public and that I have no intention to disclose, things are happening behind closed doors. There are some serious projects are being underwritten and financed and negotiated right now. If these projects come to fruition, which is likely to happen within 2 years time frame, the accessibility of Bitcoin investments to general public will be ubiquitous.
Anyone parting with his coins at current silly prices is going to deeply regret it by year 2015.

Sorry Vladimir, I didn't buy this.
This should really be moved to "Speculation".

The gold ETF is being proved to be a sham, not convincingly so, but enough to anyone harboring a suspicious mind. Stories abound within ETF’s regarding shorting gold via futures, buying 10 cents worth of gold per dollar held, lack of transparency, unaccountability under the false guise of security concerns, and avoidance of SEC requirements enough to earn a formal investigation. Eventually, we will learn that on a good day, a fractionally managed gold ETF is right on target with their reality. My uglier view is that ETF’s will morph into non-producing hedge firms, simple queer adjunct skeletal illicitly controlled shams linked to the hedged mining firms themselves, whose certificates are fully mixed, those valid vaulted very real with those leased vanished never to be seen again. For smart people to trust the ETF offerings is evidence of utter complete stupidity in my book. Jim Turk’s original suspicions might have been met with calls of competitive bias, but no more. His concerns have all been borne out as authentic. He is a true gold patriot. For the precious metal community to embrace the upcoming silver ETF is beyond my comprehension.
Such trust reminds me of the Iraq War and calls of weapons of mass destruction. Now Iran is a nuclear threat. Have we learned anything about disinformation? How intelligent is the gold community? Don’t confuse zeal and stubbornness for intelligence and craft. If Fanny Mae launched an ETF for housing investors, would we trust it? A credible argument can be made that the hedged gold institutions (within the establishment of the goomba World Gold Council to manage the gold ETF) is akin to the mafia managing the lending operations for the Teamster’s Union retirement fund. How is that working out? The streetTRACKS gold ETF (GLD) will have a similar fate someday, in managed receivership by some official steward.

Quote 2:
hedge funds get their name because they hedge their positions on the market
example go long on oil futures and long on airlines stocks
1 if oil goes up let the oil futures run in profits cut the airlines stock
2 if oil goes down cut the futures and let the airlines stock run in profits how you hedge in bitcoin world?
Originally hedge funds used to hedge, as in your example, but nowadays any strategy goes. Being long in BTC is a possibility. The problem however, is that they normally want to buy financial products within a strict legal framework. The Coinlab deal is a first step towards making this possible, the ultimate goal would be a Bitcoin ETF.example go long on oil futures and long on airlines stocks
1 if oil goes up let the oil futures run in profits cut the airlines stock
2 if oil goes down cut the futures and let the airlines stock run in profits how you hedge in bitcoin world?

Dear Vladimir,
You took the time to write your post, which tells us nothing in particular and there is no way for us to tell if it's true or not. I have two questions for you:
1) Why did you do that?
2) What do you expect US to do after we read your post?

1. Just teasing you. But some people might take some action based on this information. These people do know who they are and what to do.
2. I have no expectations of any action from anyone. Safe to ignore.
My friend... I think most of intelligent people knows that the wise strategy with bitcoin is:
- INVEST ONLY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOOSE
- BUY AND HOLD, FULL POINT
If you follow those two simple rules you will be OK with bitcoin
To put it another way, 140M people in russia, there are not enough bitcoins to give each russian 0.1 BTC.
Or to give each Russian 10000000 satoshis.[/quote]
If your intent is to point that 0.1 BTC is large enough, you are right. I didn't mean to imply that there are too few bitcoins, I just wanted to show how rich we are even with a few bitcoins
All current limitations of Bitcoin aside, remember that the entire system is ultimately dependent on Internet connectivity. Any grand plans for nation state adoption require broadly deployed Internet service. Yes there are technologies that address this but they are quite immature. Just saying, it needs to be considered as a factor depending on who you're talking about. Cyprus, as an example since it's the favorite mention du jour, does not have very good Internet service on the whole. In fact, it's quite poor.
That's an interesting point. I would add, though, that there already much, much more internet connected devices than bank-connected devices.
Furthermore, the national crypto currency does not need to replace paper notes, and paper notes can be used for small amounts where no Internet connectivity exists. Just like today with fiat currencies...
The troubling part of this national crypto-currency scenario might be with tax and accounting laws.
Would the "clever" country demand from its citizens that they declare the full list of their crypto-currency adresses, allowing the tax services to monitor each and every digital money transfer ?
Actually, russia money supply is around 11T RUB, which would put the current bitcoin at around 1 000 000 RUB, that is around 32 000 $.
To put it another way, 140M people in russia, there are not enough bitcoins to give each russian 0.1 BTC.

Something Big??? Wait for it... WE'RE ALL GOING TO PATTAYA, fuck yeah!!!! 
Just heard it on BBC World news: A cyprus government official states that "Cypern is considering adopting an alternative currency outside the Euro economy".
I wetted myself when i heard these words!
Of course this is to put pressure on Andrea Merkel to get a better deal and "alternative currency" suggesting that they are going to invent a Cyprus Dracma, not related to B...... of course.
Nevertheless hearing this on BBC was the shock of the day....
Based on some information that is not public and that I have no intention to disclose, things are happening behind closed doors [...] which is likely to happen within 2 years time frame [...]
u mean the next reward halving?

No regrets if you are able to buy back at $48 to $50 soon.

Meanwhile, I set you all up for an epic "I told you so" post. 
Didn't a certain pirate write something quite similar a year ago? 
What possible mechanism could be used for a nation state to adopt Bitcoin as it's legal currency?
Interesting. I think it makes much more sense to create a national blockchain, spawn a good number of "russiacoins" at initialisation time, choose its own growth rules.
Once you've done that you can open your exchange which accepts rubles and delivers RBTC, maybe at a 1:1 parity.
You might need to write some rules allowing you to create RBTC during the exchange period, because you don't know how much rubles people will come and exchange at your desks.
Once that is done and the exchange period is over, you are now in a country where the ruble has been crypto-currency-upgraded, but it is still a national currency, with legal tender inside the country, but with no special international status.
Do you think this scenario is flawed ?
If not, wouldn't the first "national crypto currency" gain international credibility ? I guess a lot of investors, knowing very well that the Fed is more or less a giant printing press, would be happy to sell dollars and buy this new currency, wouldn't they ?
That is a phenomenal idea, especially for regions who have to use money they have no control of - like maybe a Euroblock country, or a US state.
Looking at it practically, if you had an area with let's say, 4 million people, but their currency was being issued by a central bank somewhere, these people could use the regional crypto coins for their day to day purchasing, while letting the government carry on using fiat. Each person would have a few bitcoins, and the cap value of the coins wouldn't go to much more than gold today. Assuming that once people had paid their taxes, their pay packet would be converted to bitcoins. It would be a win / win because the government auditors wouldn't get upset, as they could still print out money to make the books balance, while the people were not going to get taxed by stealth inflation!
Its far too sensible to be legal!
If that is true, then price will skyrocket to about 100 x of what is it now, and even more.
Realistically that scenario implies 2-4 more zeros than just 100 times. Jump to:
